... must remain small in order to be flexible, whereas the volume of orders received by the large producers awakens acquisitive interest from the even | CIRCUIT BOARDS | larger international manufacturers who, thanks to wage differentials in the world, squeeze profit margins through price dumping until “withdrawal” from the market occurs. RAPID MASS | CIRCUIT BOARDS | PRODUCTION is an idea born from the wish to combine the speed of production typical of prototype “rush job” specialists with the reasonable costs associated | CIRCUIT BOARDS | with manufacturing large series. We based our considerations on the observation that complex production methods can also be provided for “mass”, i.e. large amounts rapidly | CIRCUIT BOARDS | if there are no hitches and production flows smoothly. “Hold-ups” are evident even in state-of-the-art manufacturing due to buffer stocks, i.e. piles of materials waiting | CIRCUIT BOARDS | for further processing, either because a machine is not yet free or has to be converted. The problem can be best compared with a relay | CIRCUIT BOARDS | race, in which a smooth ...

Worse, someone might have typed in the information | CIRCUIT BOARDS | manually - and erroneously. By contrast, in 274X, all the aperture information is contained within the Gerber file, which can be read by most CAM | CIRCUIT BOARDS | tools automatically. For netlists, | IPC-D-356 | is the preferred format for fabrication. It's widely used by many of the bare-board test-fixturing machines and is | CIRCUIT BOARDS | one of the only true ways to identify power- to-ground shorts. With the information in this format coming directly from the engineering CAD system, there's | CIRCUIT BOARDS | no danger of the fabricator "reverse engineering" the netlist from the Gerber files. Next up are the internal | PLANE LAYERS |. For some reason, | CIRCUIT BOARDS | CAD engineers like them to be "positive," but those types of layers lead to huge file sizes. Negative plane layers are usually preferred by fabricators | CIRCUIT BOARDS | because they're easier to work with and have smaller file sizes ...
